During breakfast,
"Aiden, what happened to your face?"
Looking at the four claw marks on both sides of Aiden's face, Enzo's gaze moved to Miss Cat lying on top of his head.
"What did you do to it last night?"
"What do you mean what did I do to her? She's just a cat, okay?" Aiden touched the four claw marks on the left side of his face.
Those were the second kicks he got from Miss Cat, and the force was so strong that it nearly twisted his head off.
"Seeing how attentive you are to it, even giving it a nickname, and even calling it 'she', so..." Enzo chuckled, but since his wife and children were present, he didn't continue.
Casting him an annoyed glance, Aiden tore off a piece of bread and handed it to Miss Cat on top of his head.
Fortunately, Miss Cat wasn't picky about food, so she ate the piece of bread.
But unfortunately, she scratched Aiden again.
Looking at the scratch on his wrist, Aiden felt emotionally wounded, so he looked at Enzo, "Can you get some dried fish or cat food?"
"Of course, my dear friend." Enzo nodded vigorously. He didn't understand what exactly had happened, but he knew what he had to do.
But the moment his words fell, Miss Cat responded. After swallowing that piece of bread, she slapped a paw directly on top of Aiden's head.
Aiden gasped. He could feel that if he said one more word, Miss Cat might just rip his skull open with her paw.
Okay, maybe that was a bit exaggerated, but Aiden could still feel Miss Cat's sharp claws scratching around his scalp.
Enzo certainly noticed Miss Cat's move. Seeing Aiden's face suddenly change, he smiled and asked, "Still need dried fish or cat food?"
Aiden didn't dare shake his head, afraid of knocking Miss Cat off. He just said calmly, "No need. I think she prefers eating bread."
Then he tore off another piece of bread and handed it over.
Faced with Aiden's feeding, Miss Cat was clearly starting to get used to it. She swallowed the piece of bread in one bite, no more extra moves.
Soon, breakfast ended just like that.
After breakfast, Enzo and his wife took the two kids to school, leaving only Aiden at home.
But Aiden wasn't bored. After all, he had Miss Cat to keep him company, and he could tease her now and then. It's just that every time after teasing her, she would retaliate.
So when Enzo and his wife returned, what they saw was Miss Cat biting Aiden's wrist and refusing to let go.
"Want me to call a doctor for you?"
Even though he didn't see any blood, Enzo casually asked.
"Call a vet. I'm afraid of rabies." Aiden glanced at Miss Cat who was clinging to his arm and joked.
That sentence was quite powerful, Miss Cat actually let go. But what she was going to do next, Aiden could basically guess.
Sure enough, after letting go, Miss Cat jumped onto the sofa, then onto the coffee table. After a bit of a running start, she leapt into the air and kicked at Aiden.
But this time Aiden was ready. When the cat paw was just about to touch his face, he tilted his head slightly and dodged.
However, even though he dodged the flying kick, he didn't dodge Miss Cat. With a loud "pa!", Miss Cat smashed right onto his face, her soft belly covering his entire face.
It was a very ambiguous position. If Miss Cat had turned back into human form, it would've been no different from straddling his face.
So, even the normally not-so-shy Miss Cat had a flicker of embarrassment in her eyes. But she quickly tossed that aside and, using all four limbs, climbed onto Aiden's head, lifted her front paws, and scratched randomly at his face.
At this moment, focused only on revenge, Miss Cat didn't notice Aiden raising his hand. And just when she realized something was off, Aiden's big hand had already grabbed the back of her neck.
He picked her up in one motion. Looking at the tooth-and-claw-flailing Miss Cat who couldn't escape no matter how she struggled, Aiden smiled happily. Then, he forcibly hugged Miss Cat into his arms.
In fact, he had wanted to do this for a long time, but Miss Cat never gave him a chance.
And after being held, Miss Cat naturally struggled in displeasure. But no matter how she bit or scratched, Aiden just wouldn't let go.
In the end, she had no choice but to lie resignedly in Aiden's arms, letting him stroke her back.
"Looks like you've finally tamed it." Seeing Miss Cat settle down, Enzo said with a smile.
But Aiden shook his head and said meaningfully,
"Far from it. She's only physically surrendered. Her heart hasn't yet."
"Then tame her heart as soon as possible."
Aiden's eyes glinted, and he nodded, "I will, in the future."
At this point, Aiden paused, then continued,
"I'll take her out for a walk."
"Go ahead. I also have to go out later. Although we don't need to buy Rodin a coffin anymore, we still need to choose a grave for him," Enzo said.
"Having me as a friend is his luck. Otherwise, who would care about him?"
Aiden didn't respond to that last sentence, because he was already at the door.
Putting on his shoes, Aiden carried Miss Cat, who was glaring at him fiercely, and stepped out. But he wasn't familiar with the neighborhood, so he just randomly picked a direction and walked.
After walking a short distance, Aiden saw a bench under a big tree by the roadside. Thinking for a moment, he walked over and sat down. Then he took out a phone he had brought from the real world.
"Miss Cat, I have something good to watch here. Do you want to see?" Aiden said as he opened his photo album.
Miss Cat rolled her eyes at Aiden. She didn't want to watch, but she was a little curious about the touchscreen phone, so she slightly raised her head from Aiden's arms and took a look.
And then... she froze.
Noticing Miss Cat froze, Aiden grinned and said, "Your sleeping posture is really bad, you know."
Hearing this, Miss Cat retracted her head, not out of shyness, but because...
The next second, on the street where only Aiden and Miss Cat were present, magic surged.
As the demonic power-infused magic dissipated, Miss Cat in Aiden's arms had disappeared, and what appeared before him was Bayonetta, back in human form.
At this moment, Bayonetta was sitting in Aiden's lap. But she didn't care how ambiguous their posture was. She glared at Aiden and said viciously, "Delete the photo."
As she spoke, the black-haired witch tried to snatch Aiden's phone, but there was no way he'd let her succeed. He instantly stashed the phone back into his system space.
"Damn it!" Bayonetta rarely got this angry. Seeing she failed to grab the phone, she grabbed Aiden's neck and threatened fiercely, "Delete the photo, or I'll kill you right here."
But despite her harsh words, Aiden didn't feel a shred of killing intent from her. Clearly, aside from genuinely wanting the photo gone, she had no intention of hurting him. And her soft hands on his neck weren't applying any pressure either.
Moreover, due to the position, Aiden couldn't even hear what Bayonetta was saying clearly. He just felt a little suffocated.
The witch's figure was simply too amazing. Not only could Aiden feel the softness of her hips beneath him, but his vision was also filled with her astonishing curves.
Since she wasn't much shorter than him, straddling him put her chest directly at eye level. If he just tilted his head a little...
Alright, having weird thoughts is normal. Aiden was no exception. He turned his head with some difficulty, but from the corner of his eye, he still saw everything clearly.
"Not deleting." Aiden said stiffly, "If you have the guts, kill me."
"And this is your fault, okay? Miss Cat, who knew you'd turn into a cat and stay by my side."
Aiden added, sounding a little guilty, "Besides, I took a picture of a cat's butt, not your current butt."
"That makes no difference." Hearing that, Bayonetta also felt a bit guilty. After all, this was indeed her fault.
Also, for her, getting her photographed by Aiden wasn't such a big deal. She was just ashamed of her sleeping posture.
'But... why do I even care about that?' Bayonetta thought to herself.
After a moment of silence, Bayonetta suddenly smiled, pretending to be generous, "Fine. You took it, you took it. It's just a cat's butt. You can't do anything with it anyway."
As she said this, she pulled back her hands and straightened her posture.
That movement made Aiden take a deep breath. He was now completely pressed against the witch's backside. He could even feel something in his body beginning to stir.
This black-haired witch… really doesn't treat him like an outsider.
To avoid embarrassing himself, and to prevent the witch from noticing, Aiden began silently chanting the Ice-Heart Technique in his head.
"If the heart is clear as ice, even the sky collapsing won't cause fear."
Alright, the more he tried to stay calm, the less calm he felt. Naturally, Bayonetta noticed.
She paused, a strange glint flashing through her eyes, but she didn't get up. Instead, she smiled and asked, "Feel good?"
Men never lie in such situations, so Aiden honestly answered, "Yes."
"Want to feel even better?" Bayonetta giggled.
Aiden hesitated, but still nodded firmly.
"Then just imagine it." Bayonetta's smile suddenly vanished. She pressed one hand on Aiden's chest, gently pushed off, and got off him, then sat beside him.
Pulling out a lollipop and popping it into her mouth, Bayonetta rested her arms on the bench's backrest and asked with a mouthful, "Did you already know the cat was me?"
"Yeah." Aiden said a little regretfully.
"Since when?" Bayonetta asked again.
"From the first moment I saw you."
"Eh?" Bayonetta tilted her head at him, her confused expression looking a little cute, "How did you know?"
"Besides steak, I've never smelled rosemary before." Aiden tilted his head to look at her too, "You smell way too good."
"Then why pretend you didn't know?" Bayonetta rolled her eyes at him.
Aiden chuckled, "Because I really wanted to know what it felt like to hold you in my arms. Also... I really do like cats, Miss Cat."
"Then, Mr. Cat, what did it feel like to hold me in your arms?" Bayonetta naturally accepted his teasing words.
Aiden didn't answer, instead asked her back, "I'd rather ask you, what did it feel like to be held in my arms?"
